Edit → Input Modes

Switch between a normal and a vi-like, modal editing mode. The vi input mode supports the most used commands
and motions from vim's normal and visual mode and has an optional vi mode statusbar.
This status bar shows commands while they are being entered, output from commands and
the current mode. The behavior of this mode can be configured in the
Vi
Input Mode section of the Editing page in
this application's settings dialog.

Edit → Overwrite Mode (Ins)

Toggles the Insert/Overwrite modes. When the mode is INS, you
insert characters where the cursor is. When the mode is OVR, writing
characters will replace the current characters if your cursor is positioned
before any character. The status bar shows the current state of the Overwrite
Mode, either INS or OVR.

Edit → Find... (Ctrl+F)

This opens the incremental search bar at the bottom of the editor window.
On the left side of the bar is a button with an icon to close the bar, followed by a small text
box for entering the search pattern.

When you start entering characters of your search pattern, the search starts
immediately. If there is a match in the text this is highlighted and the background color
of the entry field changes to light green. If the search pattern does not match any
string in the text, this is indicated by a light red background color of the entry field.

Use the
or
button
to jump to the next or previous match in the document.

Matches in the document are highlighted even when you close the search bar. To clear
this highlighting, press the Esc key.

You can choose whether the search should be case sensitive.
Selecting
will limit finds to entries that match the
case (upper or lower) of each of the characters in the search pattern.

Click on the
button at the right side of the incremental search bar to
switch to the power search and replace bar.

Edit → Find Variants → Find Next (F3)

This repeats the last find operation, if any, without calling the incremental
search bar, and searching forwards through the document starting from the cursor position.

Edit → Find Variants → Find Previous (Shift+F3)

This repeats the last find operation, if any, without calling the incremental
search bar, and searching backwards instead of forwards through the
document.

Edit → Find Variants → Find Selected (Ctrl+H)

Finds next occurrence of selected text.

Edit → Find Variants → Find Selected Backwards (Ctrl+Shift+H)

Finds previous occurrence of selected text.

Edit → Replace... (Ctrl+R)

This command opens the power search and replace bar.
On the upper left side of the bar is a button with an icon to close the bar, followed by a small text
box for entering the search pattern.

You can control the search mode by selecting Plain text,
Whole words, Escape sequences or
Regular expression from the drop down box.

If Escape sequences or Regular expression are
selected, the Add... menuitem at the bottom of the context menu of the text boxes will be enabled
and allows you to add escape sequences or regular expression items to the
search or replace pattern from predefined lists.

Use the
or
button
to jump to the next or previous match in the document.

Enter the text to replace with in the text box labeled Replace
and click the Replace button to replace only the highlighted text or
the Replace All button to replace the search text in the whole document.

You can modify the search and replace behavior by selecting different
options at the bottom of the bar.
Selecting
will limit finds to entries that match the

The Find All button highlights all matches in the document and shows the
number of found matches in a small popup.

box. The little up arrow will increase the line number and the down
arrow decrease it. Close the bar with a click on the button with an icon on the left side of the bar.
